I am finally a mommy!

June 25, 2009

I am finally a mommy!!! We got the call for our agency and it has been a whirlwind ever since! It is exhausting but so rewarding! I can now look back over the past year with adoption and see that THIS is the child that God had planned for us! Abby Elizabeth was born on April 27 and joined our family Monday June 22!

I must admit that I am worried about the effects of lack of sleep on my fibromyalgia. Last night we got 6 hours of sleep (from 4am to 10am) which are not exactly my hours but I will take it over the night before! When I’m not getting sleep my hips and lower back KILL me so I am really hoping that I can fend off a flare. John & I have been tag-teaming so that has been helpful (he took first shift last night so I could get an hour or two of sleep before I took over). If posts are scattered the next week or so, please understand but I think this will had a whole new dimension to my “new normal” 🙂

She is so beautiful!!! What a wonderful blessing from the Lord!!! Congratulations on finally becoming a mommy!!! I know it is so hard at first b/c you get such little sleep. Hopefully you'll be able to keep a flare at bay!!! So happy for you guys!!!
